    Been there, done that..............and found it !
    Systematically go through everything in every room in the house, including looking between each piece of paper in each pile of papers, between and behind books/cds/dvds/vids, checking all pockets in clothes either in wardrobe or stored. It's a painful way to look for something, but it works.

    Under the bath?
    In the meter cupboard?

    I know that's where one pal of mine keeps hers...says a burglar would never think of looking there..I though it was a pretty obvious place.

    Have you checked your overbnight bag's side pocket?

    Any joy?

    I once found mine in my make up bag?

    Have you got pets? Could they have hidden it for you?! Under the fridge is a good one for mine! x
    Gone ... or have I?

    In the loft? (Another good place you hope burglars won't look)

    Parents could not find theirs 4 days before a holiday and had to go down to Liverpool passport office to get a replacement. They found it when they came to pack their cases - in the lining of the suitcase. Does your suitcase have a zippy lining it might be inside of?

    Keep looking. It'll turn up - but have Plan B all sorted in good time.

    A mate of mine turned his house upside down looking for his passport. Eventually admitted defeat and got a replacement on the day of travel. The original turned up at when he went through Passport control - it was in his bumbag, sitting snugly alongside the brand new one.
